This stay is very close walk to/from the train station with plenty of food options. This was a perfect place to have a quick stay before heading in to Yala. This family business is very charming and extremely friendly! They were very accommodating during our stay and even packed us breakfast when we had a quick morning check out!

Peaceful oasis in busy Ella
Posted 11 Feb 2024 on HotelsWe had a wonderful three nights here in a traditional homestay. It was in a very peaceful location but only a few minutes walk downhill to the lively town of Ella.
Cynthia and her family were very friendly hosts and provided us with enormous varied breakfasts.

Absolutely lovely
Posted 1 Jun 2023 on HotelsOne of the nicest places I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka; beautifully quiet and calm, wonderful hosts and a cosy, welcoming room. The only downside was that work meant I was only able to stay one night; would love to come back.

It’s location is close to Main Street of Ella. Quieter than staying right in town.
